December KOM... last chance!

tick. tock. tick. tock..
the last few days of DECEMBER are slipping away...
if you haven't gotten the December Kit of the Month yet...
you still have alittle bit of time to grab it!!
not only is this kit filled with LOVE...
but it is filled with ADORABLE stamps that are so versatile.

with the new year just around the corner...
I am bound and determined to whip this place into shape
and organize all the spaces that need some help.
The plan for one of my closets is to have my hubby build
cubbies and then fill them with baskets like this one above.
{or bins of some type... depending on the dimensions of the cubbies}
I am making personalized tags for each of the bins/baskets.
Each family member will have their own little spot for things in the closet.

to make this tag for Chloe's basket, I used an old deck of playing cards.
I just trimmed my Tim Holtz paper to fit the card, glued it on
with Mono Multi, rounded the corners, and added my embellishments.
The little jar from the Dec. KOM worked perfectly in the center of the tag.
I punched a hole in the corner and tied on a button using some twine.
Super easy project that didn't take long at all.

Make sure you take a trip over to the
for announcements and important info. from Angela!

Next in the HOP line up you should be
heading to EVA's BLOG!

Have a LOVELY THURSDAY!!!

For today, I got a jump start on my Christmas cards.
It seems like I am always picking up
gift cards, and it is fun to give them in a cute holder.
This is a super SIMPLE little card that even your KIDS can help make!

I simply folded a 4X8 inch strip of paper in half
to make a 4X4 card, then added a pocket inside to
hold the gift card.
For the outside, I stamped
the ADORABLE
My Little Shoebox co-brand You Melt My Heart Itty Bitty



SO easy. SO fun!
